Summer Challenge 2012: Completed Tasks with ?s/problems
Mod
Please see the several messages to you in this thread - you must post a link to the book you claim for a task.
Mod
You'll need to link to GR books, not just amazon books, to claim points for reading them. If you need to get the cover of the edition you read from amazon or any other outside source, you still need to link to the GR entry for that edition as well.
The rules of the challenge state:
4. To claim a task in Completed Tasks, the book you use MUST exist on Goodreads. Instructions on manually adding a book to the Goodreads database can be found in Add a book instructions. You MUST include a link to the book edition you read. If a task requires details about an author, the author link must be included.
There's also a thread in General Help, Anyone with librarian status , where you can ask for help with this.
Sandy - cover fixed for Lorna's post - the book was in GR, just no cover -
Dee - post 1535The copy of A Breath of Snow and Ashes you've linked to has 980 pages, good for 2 BB tickets. If you read a copy that's 1000+ pages, please repost with a link to that book to claim your third BB ticket.

Thank you Sandy :)
Mod
"Dee, thanks so much for your help with this!
Lorna, no need to repost.
Hello, I think you have my points listed incorrectly. n post 1525 i claimed 30 points along with some GR author and BBtix. This are up to date, but I have my points total as 295 and it's listed as 265 on the readerboard. I didn't see any issues listed here? Thanks!
Mod
Sorry, Maggie, looks like I somehow missed post 1527 (the one in which you claimed the 30 point task). It will show up in the next update.
Great! I don't know how you keep up with it all!! thank you.
Kara - post 1582Sorry, but Kristin Cashore is not noted as being a Goodreads Author. No need to repost, just FYI for your records.
Ohhh my goodness. I can't believe it--that's the second time I did that. I'm so sorry. I must've been off a row in my spreadsheet. I promise that I will double and triple check next time!
Mod
For task 30.3 A2, the "X" must be in the title or subtitle. Series names don't work for this.
Mod
Task 30.3, B1, requires that the author's first and last name initials be in the words rum and whiskey, not just any letters in the author's names.
Mod
Task 25.7, option 3, requires that you include in your post the date of the author's death.
Mod
Task 15.1 is a 2 book task - one with blue and one with green. When you have completed the task, please be sure to include both books in your post - we can't keep track of partial tasks.
SilverRaindrops - post 1590For future reference, you may claim one Goodreads author ticket per book. If you read two books by GRAs for a two book task, you can claim two GRA tickets. So you can add one more ticket to your records for task 30.3, bringing you to a total of 11 GRA tickets.

Hi Sandy, the book has been approved on the eBook Verification thread, post 1354 by Dlmrose - is there anything further I need to do now?
Many thanks!

You'll need to do a new post to claim the task - provide all the information - it helps to keep in mind that it's a new post, not just filling in the missing info from the old post.
Mod
task 30.3, option B1, requires that the initials of the author's first and last names be in rum/whiskey. Unfortunately, since neither word contains a "g,", George R.R. Martin won't work for this.
Mod
Task 30.5 requires that you include in your post the country in which you live, and the continents on which each book takes place. Please keep in mind that the two books must be set on different continents and that neither book may be set in the country in which you live.
Mod
For task 15.7, a series is defined in the task as having at least 3 books that are published or will be published by the end of the challenge. there are only 2 books listed in GR for the series for the book you've claimed here.
You've listed a book for 15.10 that's not on GR.
The rules of the challenge state:
4. To claim a task in Completed Tasks, the book you use MUST exist on Goodreads. Instructions on manually adding a book to the Goodreads database can be found in Add a book instructions.

Task 10.9 requires that you indicate which season and which category poll was the source of your book.

So sorry Sandy - just trying to use all the books I read. Do I need to repost for the other two tasks? I will try to fix these two issues.

Thank you Sandy, will do that now, and thank you for the help!
Mod
No, you only need to repost the tasks with problems - the others are emtered on the spreadsheet.
Mod
For task 20.8, you need to indicate which option you're using (type of cake)
Sandy wrote: "LAURIE ME post 1681For task 20.8, you need to indicate which option you're using (type of cake)"
Ooops - I'll repost and include the cake.
This is now in post 1688
Mod
Task 25.6, option 1, requires that the book be about a "summer romance," and that "the summer setting should be evident in the title or book description." I don't see anything in the book description for Some Girls Do that indicates that this is a summer romance.

Okay - I'll find a different book.

thanks - it's hard for me to have to run the book against all the options!

Reposted with both books.
Mod
For task 30.8, you claimed Between The Land And The Sea. That book only shows as being in e-book form, so you need to post the spreadsheet line/post number in which it was approved for length.
Sue T - post 1736Sorry, but Alex Kava is not noted as being a Goodreads author. No need to repost, just FYI for your records.
JennRenee - post 1738Sorry, but Ally Carter is not noted as being a Goodreads author. No need to repost, just FYI for your records.

I totally forgot about that part of the task- I'm sorry! I will find someplace else for those books.
Mod
Task 25.3, book 2, requires that the cover shows feet, but no hands. Unfortunately, you can see the girl's hands in her reflection in These Things Hidden.
